Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Nol van der Vin” as indonesian association football player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1952, 1955, 1953, 2013—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Indonesian, association and football can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as indonesian association football player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 18, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q14947371. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1952, 1955, 1953 and 2013.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
